TheLeftPecOfTheLord

One of my absolute favourite Christmas movies, Jim Carrey was born for this role 🎄

Tami Hart

I still prefer the original cartoon! Ppl sleep on it!

TomGas2025

Yepp...its that time of year again...🙄

maikeru

you´ve seen snippets of the grinch cartoon when you were watching home alone

Matthew Richson

Your reactions in the full version seem to be slightly behind with the footage. EDIT: Or at least initially, seems to leveled out now.

Cinebinge

hi Matthew, could you tell me where initially you noticed this? as the unedited versions are literally just 3 video files unedited. if its out of sync in 1 part, it should be out of sync for the rest of it. it shouldnt be possible to be in off sync then go back to normal on its own.

blerbaberpaterb

? the preview last week literally shows Jim Carrey as Grinch. what were you expecting? lol

Matthew Richson

Sorry for the confusion, looking through it your reactions seem to be just slightly behind the footage throughout, it’s just sometimes it seems like it’s in sync when it’s not… I’m likely just causing a headache for you with this. But I found it especially noticeable at the beginning of the movie.

TYLER NORWOOD

If you guys want another Jim Carrey movie recommendation, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004 title and not the Netflix series). Plays a villainous role, in both a comedic and dramatic way.

JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy

Up there for fave Jim Carrey performances and definitely the most quoted Xmas movie down here in the household every December. Fun rewatch as usual dudes ☺️

Thomas Yanez

It's a long time issue I've reported many times, but nothing has ever come of it. As much as I love the content, it can be kind of frustrating when Simone gasps or shrieks at something that hasn't happened in the embedded video yet.

Cinebinge

Hi Thomas. We try to fix them as they are reported, could you tell me where in this video you noticed it?

jmundt33a

Is the Cumberbatch cartoon in the offing?

Andrew

The original 1966 Grinch is 36 minutes long. Not 10 minutes. You guys should have watched that one first since George hasn't seen it.

jmundt33a

Have they seen Remains of the Day?

HeyHeyJK

I worked for a little while on the visual effects team during post production for this film and, as I’m sure you can tell, there were a LOT of VFX shots. I grew up watching the cartoon and loved it so I was expecting to hate the movie but then when I saw the cut during post I actually really liked it. I got to visit one of the big Whoville sets that was on a soundstage at Universal, which is where our VFX office was, and it was pretty amazing, as you can tell. That’s what makes me remember that I had a crew shirt, which was a nice long sleeved fleece button up kind of thing, but now I don’t know where that is. I guess I better go try and find it. Great reaction, as always. ‘k, bye!

blerbaberpaterb

the confusion here might be the fact that Thomas and Matthew are saying 2 opposite things... one of you is saying the reaction is behind the footage, the other is saying its ahead...

Mike W

No trivia about Taylor Momsen from the pretty reckless who played Cindy Lou Who. Go and watch the new music video she's released for where are you Christmas 🤘

Tyler Foster

Still hoping you guys get to the one remaining comedy movie in Jim Carrey's megastar period during the '90s, and one of his most underrated films, The Cable Guy (1996), directed by Ben Stiller and written (uncredited) by Judd Apatow. He's also great in the 1999 Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon, directed by Milos Forman (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus), which is funny but more of a drama. I do wonder how it will be affected by the fact that you two may not have any idea who Andy Kaufman was. Then again, I suppose I only barely knew who he was before seeing the movie.

Erik Lepe

The actress who played Cindy is in a killer band called The Pretty Reckless. They just released a new version of the Where are you Christmas song thats great!

CT

I think they're too... youthful to appreciate any of the Merchant Ivory films, sadly. Most patrons are probably unfamiliar with them, as well.

Matthew Richson

I think Thomas was talking just generally. This specific reaction, the reactions are behind with the embedded footage, as I said it’s especially notable in the beginning of the movie.

Tony Hoffman

Why not watch the original cartoon as a Patreon exclusive since it’s short and full of music. I think it’s important that George needs to watch it

Senec

This is probably the least cursed thumbnail I've seen in a while, and yet its still disturbing.

Justtired

Thank you. I needed this today. Your laughter is infectious. I had such a great time watching this with you both. Jim Carrey practices what Robin Williams called “legalized insanity”. In this film, I think Ron Howard said, “here’s where we want to go. Ready? Action”

Lanny Stanfield

Every time I saw Cindy Lou I kept seeing Taylor Momsen and The Pretty Reckless. They have such a different vibe from this movie, but I guess they released their own version of "Where Are You Christmas?" This version is good, but I still prefer the animated 1966 version. It's simpler and less cynical with the whole "Christmas is so commercialized" angle.

Carlos H

the movie looks so good because of all the Practical effects, make up and sets. You know if it was made today it would be 90% CGI with the effects artists under intense crunch time.

jmundt33a

It gives some Hopkins balance for those only familiar with Lecter.

cincassette

Especially when you look at how many other early-2000s movies have aged terribly in comparison, when it comes to their visuals, because they relied so heavily on CGI.

Adam Vialpando

Man on the Moon is great if you don't know who Andy Kaufman is or haven't heard about Carrey's method acting. After I learned more about Andy this film feels like wasted potential. Still decent though.

Adam Vialpando

Doug Walker did a great video comparing and contrasting the film and tv show and talking about the areas both fall short and the areas both excel. Still love this film.

Jeff K.

This guy gets it.

Jeff K.

I was just thinking that I would absolutely watch, rather than them doing one movie on a certain day, putting out a video reacting to the original Grinch, Charlie Brown Christmas, and maybe Rudolph or Frosty (or both) since they're all short enough that it's about the equivalent of watching one movie.

Life in the cave of Garanoga

If it isn't on your list already "The Majestic" (2001) is, in my opinion, Jim Carrey's best performance as an actor. It's a drama and he absolutely nails the role. Truman Show is probably a better movie, but I always thought he did much better in The Majestic and it is a really good film. I wish he had taken on more range in his roles when he was peaking in popularity. The guy doesn't get enough credit for his acting chops outside physical comedy.

Aridevo

When you realize the only reason Max is with the Grinch is because someone threw away a Christmas puppy.... As he said, all their "Garbage" ends up with him. Hence the reason Max never runs away, the Grinch rescued him.

Jay Davis

Cindy-Lou Who is that in the thumbnail?

Scott S.

I agree the 1966 version is still the best version

Ari Ramirez

t h e g i s t o f t h e g r i n c h

Divinerights

Okay reading that trivia about Dr Seuss, you MUST watch Cat in the Hat for a children’s comedy slot

Divinerights

Absolute absurdist comedy, and Mike meyers on fire

Divinerights

Also trivia, in the table cloth scene he’s meant to rip down the cloth and everything falls, but instead he perfectly does the trick and thus the scene goes on to him shoving everything

G P

I'm sorry, but Cat in the Hat absolutely deserves its 10% RT score

Divinerights

Won’t see any disagreement here

jmundt33a

That is a good one. Solid cast too.

Daniel Jones

The best live-action Dr Seuss feature-length film… I guess… 🤷

DasBigUn

gosh dang...Martha May Who "next door 'mommy'."....WOOO.....*stretch's collar on shirt* Also like the expansion that she just had a MASSIVE crush on him and they didnt dot he usual where he had a crush on her and then she finds out and then she gains emotions for him

Christina Doxstader

True but it's not like there is much competition on that front

jmundt33a

Which he improvised on the spot.

Kelly Pickard

Completely agreed. What I don't like about the Jim Carrey version is that it prioritizes pure wackiness, which isn't the vibe of Dr. Seuss. His stories can be fun and silly, but they're more whimsical than slapstick. The cartoon understood that.

Terdell Ferguson

The "Simone Lou Who" thumbnail is just too frickin' perfect!

Old School Drew

Rick Baker is the genius who did the makeup for an American werewolf in London.

Jacob Colson

Ashleigh Burton just thought the adults were partying responsibly by putting the keys into the bowl. Lmao. She later found out what it meant. Lol

dys

They have done Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which I'd consider the other really great dramatic turn of his.

dys

I don't mind this stuff in general but the 1966 cartoon is the real classic for me as I was already a teen when this came out, and that would have been a fun bonus for sure.

Eversharpe

CIA guy to Jim Carrey, "20 million dollars! that's how you put up with the makeup!"

Jihad Lee

i dont know if anybody has said anything but the reaction to whats happening on screen is a bit delayed. by like 2-3 secs. just an fyi @cinebinge

Christian Da Silva

I'm soooo happy.... Now do Jingle all the Way with Schwarzenegger PLEASE And if you are still loving Jim Carrey, watch The Cable Guy. That's an amazing dark comedy film

Jihad Lee

I did read that it gets synched later on in the reaction but im 38 mins in and its still ahead of your guys reaction. The biggest difference so far with me is when The Grinch is trying to drown out the noise with the monkey and you guys react to the monkey a full 3 secs after its playing. If this cant be fixed no big deal. But if you can fix it, Great!

NanoFish42

I want to say that this was the first movie I ever went to the movies for. At least the first one that I remember seeing at the theater.

NanoFish42

Small world how they were comparing the Grinch smile to Pennywise when Curry lterally played Pennywise in the original adaptation of IT.

gfixler

I can't imagine how scary it would be for the Grinch, having to walk from Whoville back to his place at night, through all the dark trees, after watching Event Horizon, starring Sam Neill.

Jacob Colson

"PUT THE COOKIE DOWN!" And yes to The Cable Guy!

Christian Da Silva

Man I’ve been waiting for so long for them to do more Jim Carrey movies. And jingle all the way is one of my Christmas favorites alongside the grinch

Mike Adams

***Obligatory Cindy Lou is the lead singer of Pretty Reckless comment***

Pendergasted

I hope you get around to The Cat in the Hat as well one day. Another Dr. Seuss classic that they did quite well with the movie adaption.

FranciscoGios

According to some lore, when they were telling the backstory of the Grinch as a baby he was supposed to glide down to Whatville not to Whoville; so in terms the Grinch is not a Who but a What.

Florian

Just had a Jim Carry thought and want to reccomend "Man on the Moon" and in addition "Jim and Andy" <3

KnittingHaven

Jim Carrey's interview on Graham Norton about this movie and everything he went through with the makeup and everything was great. You can find it on youtube.

Mike FromOz

Jim Carrey definitely brought his Tony Clifton impression over from "Man in the Moon" to this film.

Thirty Year Old Mulberry Field

Good call, I always assumed he was bringing back some of that Riddler energy from “Batman Forever” (you know, green characters and what not).

Mike FromOz

I am sure there is some of that in there as well. He was switching back and forth between character types as he played it. I just noticed it most when he stuck out his bottom lip and mumbled. After learning about the back story of 'Man on the Moon', I wish he had chosen a different direction in which to approach the characters.

Red Freckle

"For eternity" lol. You guys are hilarious.

Jacob Colson

Quite a few movies are like that. Where George would laugh at a joke a few seconds before it happens or something would scare Simone either before or after it happens.

Layan

Guys you need to check out Sunset boulevard

Cinebinge

hi there, will take a look at this. may have over corrected in this instace. Jacob, please let us know when you encounter this so we can fix them case by case, thank you.

Matthew Richson

You managed to say it better than I did.

Stefan Daniw

Please react to (Fred Claus 2007) next

Jacob Colson

Boy, Simone and George both knew about the key party and what it meant. I wonder why they picked up on it so fast. Hmm....

Anders Thomsen

The table cloth bit was actually supposed to not work the first time, but Jim pulled off the table cloth perfectly and then went back to knock all the stuff on the table... according to legend at least

blerbaberpaterb

considering George's previous job. i would imagine the 'key party' is pretty tame for him lmao. almost mundane

Robert Davenport

I saw these sets when I was at Universal Studios in California for the backlot tour. According to the tour guides, during his down time Jim Carey would dress like "Norman Bates as Mother" and hide in the Psycho set and wait for the tours to drive through, then come out screaming with a knife.

JimThePatron

"the whole world"? You do know a large amount of people don't celebrate Christmas right?

JimThePatron

Well, regardless of that, I just wanted to say that me and my family love celebrating Christmas as blasphemously as possible

Juley

Please react to the original cartoon!!!🙏

RogueRN

Roman celebrators of Saturnalia would like a word…

Josh

I'm assuming that the choice of Anthony Hopkins as narrator is an homage to the original 1966 cartoon which Boris Karloff narrated. Both are primarily known for their horror films.
